Easter

I love Easter and the meaning that is brings. We had the cattle show yesterday and when we got home the kids were tired and went to bed (10:30), so the Easter Bunny was busy at work. We had bought eggs and dye, but we were all to tired so we planned on doing them tomorrow. Rhett wanted a bike so we got him a Tony Hawk Bike. People say they are one of the best built bikes. I guess we will see if it can withstand The Rhettster!!!!!!!! He also got some new church clothes, candy, a basket, and some clothes. They also got 2 new movies!!!!
The girls got their dresses early for the Dairy Ambassador Contest, so they got a bag for their horses boots, pick, and various other items. Clothes, Basket, Candy, and Taylor Swift, and Kellie Pickler tickets. We are going with Kjia's friend, Jordan and her mom and sister. May 26 is the day we are going. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!!
My darling kids in their church clothes. I love them and they are very special to me.
Kjia and Grandpa Perkins talking about the Civil War and World War 1 and 2. Grandpa served in World War 2 and Kjia has a report due on the War. Grandpa tried to communicate to her about the war but due to his stroke he was unable to find the words. I thought Grandpa could communicate better than that because he does okay when it's small talk. We sure love him and are grateful for him. As I have known this man for over 15 years my love for him grows more each time we see him. He is the reason why Shane is such a great dad and guy. He practically raised him which I am so glad he truly had a hand in it. Grandpa in his chair. He has many naps in this chair. He loves to enjoy the sunshine and watch all the cars go by. He gave Morgan a guitar that needs some work, but is small enough for her to play. He played a tune for us and he plays all by ear. He had a band for many years and loved every minute of it. Morgan and Rhett always want him to play and will get out the guitar so he will. He went downstairs to help Grandma Sandi to find the guitar he gave Morgan, and he was out of breath each way. I have noticed his health declining but I guess it's going faster than I thought. I just wish he could be with us for a very long time.
Kjia taking pictures with her camera and her brother and sister were good sports especially on Easter. This is at Grandpa's house as we were showing Grandpa and Grandma Sandi our new house plans.We also ran some hogs to Grantsville and bought Rhett's horse home from Grandpa's house. We unloaded Pokey and ran the hogs off the trailer to be slaughtered. Rhett loves this horse even though he is swayed back and 30 years old.
